Can we say that mBTC is some kind of devaluation tool to fight with inflation process which participants of the system are trying to build ?

Think of it rather as redenomination.

There has been no change in value. We're just talking about it with smaller numbers.

Do you even understand what inflation is?
I understand benefits of devaluation if there is a hyper inflation. There is no authoity that could really devaluate bitcoin price, but we could try to devaluate peception of unit here.
…except BitCoin isn't experiencing inflation. It's experiencing deflation.

(Inflation is when the value of a currency decreases, causing the price of goods in that currency to increase or inflate.)
